Last Wednesday, Angklung Group was given a chance to perform at TV3 for MHI (Malaysia Hari Ini) which is one of famous live morning show in Malaysia. This is the biggest greatest offer that we received so far and we are so happy
Smiley Face. We were informed about the MHI show last Monday so we don’t really have much time to practice. We started our training A.S.A.P on the same night we received the news.
Smiley Face. We practiced eight songs namely Enjit2 Semut, Rasa Sayang, When The Saint Goes Marching, You Are My Sunshine, Bujang Lapok, Poco2 and Kopi Dangdut. This performance is quite a challenge because we need to memorize all the song by heart as there might not be enough space for us to put our note and stand
Smiley Face. Alhamdulillah we memorized the songs in just two days. We departed from IIUM at 6.30am and arrived at about 7.30am. This is our first time in the studio and we were so excited. When we arrived, the show has already started and we took our place to arrange everything before they asked us to perform. Alhamduliilah everything went well. After the show, we took pictures with the celebrities that come on that day like Adibah Noor, Anggun and Wardina etc.
Smiley Face. After breakfast at TV3 studio we went back to IIUM. From this performance we have learned a lot. We realized the importance of memorizing the songs, to deliver the songs with the right facial expression, and to enjoy the songs that we played. Nonetheless, this is the sweetest memory for this semester and forever.......Thanks to all!!

Salam and hye to everyone…

Last Saturday (7th march), Angklung Group has been invited to perform at Asiah Victory Award (AVA). This event was held as an appreciation for Mahallah Asiah’s residents who give excellent performance not only in curriculum but also co-curriculum.

We have the chance to perform at the Banquet Hall in Admin Building. The program started around 8.30 pm after the arrival of the VIPs. It started with the gimmick from Silat Seni Cekak IIUM,
Smiley Face who performed martial arts with all the knives and sticks. This way, the Malay’s strength and macho-ness showed.

After hearing the speech from all the VIPs, Angklung Group were finally ready to perform a total of 4 songs while the audiences enjoyed their dinner. We performance started with a ‘Compulsory’ song from Angklung Group, Enjit- Enjit Semut. Followed by Bujang Lapok, then the ballad song "Rindu Bayangan". The last song was Rasa Sayang.. Even the emcee of the day sang the songs that we played.

Then, it was finally ‘makan time’ after the performance. Everyone was really happy because we could gave all our best in the performance. It is normal and very important for Angklung Group members to have photography session. The event was a bit of a ’chaos’ because most members of the Angklung Group are "GIGAM (Haha...). One by one the camera flashed to capture the memorable event.

Cool…. after about 2 days of practice, Angklung Group successfully performed well even though it was the first time for the new members to play some of the songs. Even Bapak, could smile while conducting the performance….that’s a good sign
Smiley Face. Alhamdulillah, we gain lot of praises from the audiences and the committees. But, we have to remember the Angklung Group motto, ‘Jangan Riak’……

Thanks to all the seniors who still could spend their time performing together with us.. Also not to forget other members, who have to sacrifice the holiday to make this performance a good one..
Smiley Face Keep up the good work!!!
